Cultural madness

In this episode, the boys discussed the pervasiveness of African American culture and how it has become the default way in which African Australians express themselves in art & lingo. We talked about the stagnation and challenges in establishing a recognisable sub-culture as African Australians.

The boys sit down to discuss the increasing social media toxicity plaguing our society and how they're dealing with it.

In this episode, I sat down with dear old friends, who are deeply passionate about Sudanese culture, we talked about toxic traditions that hold the culture back and the foreseeable struggle of maintaining core traditional values in our new progressive world. How does the diaspora move forward? 

This episode I spoke with the lovely Lydia Tesema. Lydia is the founder and editor of below the surface magazine, radio host and a self described social activist. We spoke about her multifaceted career/lifestyle and how she crafted a meaningful path for Herself. We talked about the danger of reproducing social norms with the trap of our educational system. Enjoy!

Sharon Orapeleng is a Community Advocate, Speaker, and Mental health practitioner specialising in transcultural mental health. On this episode, Sharon and I discuss the importance of culturally appropriate therapy, the importance of community in the treatment process. She also shares some self care tips that can be applied in our everyday routine. 

Welcome to the first episode of cultural madness! On this episode I discuss the stigma around mental health and the importance of normalising the discussion, specifically with regard to men. I touch on different methods of dealing with mental pressure and my cynical view of certain therapies.  Enjoy!
